The Federal Command of Kathol Rift is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Rang Orar with a fair hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, irreverence towards religion, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 10.41 billion Kathols are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Khaltanar. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Kathol economy, worth a remarkable 2,951 trillion Chits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 283,550 Chits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's soldiers sleep four to a bed in order to use space economically, the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, a massive campaign is underway to ensure the race of Kathol Rift remains pure, and hospitals in Kathol Rift are too busy serving the needs of the Pacific to see Kathols. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kathol Rift's national animal is the Thunderbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kathol Rift is ranked 304,732nd in the world and 4,623rd in the Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 15 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
